Nursing Home Communities in North Charleston, SC

"My husband is a resident of NHC Healthcare, Charleston. They're very helpful. They're very sweet. I consider the environment very nice. They do come when someone rings for them, and they help. They're seriously doing their job and they're very nice to the patients. The personalities they have, I think it's very important to a patient and even to the family because you don't feel like they have to help that person, it sounds like they're glad to do it. They take care of the room very well. It's very neat. There's no stuff lying around or dirt on the floor. They come in every day and clean, change his bed sheets, and help my husband get his clothes changed, bathe, and things like that. They're very good about all that. My husband likes the food occasionally. They serve something that he is not crazy about, he didn't eat that at home, so he's not going to eat it somewhere else. For the value, that's very expensive, but everybody's in that same category."

"Wellmore of Daniel Island is brand new and very clean. You feel like you're walking into a 5-star hotel. They have a nice restaurant where they serve three very good meals a day. Residents are allowed to have snacks at anytime. I would highly recommend this community. It is working out very well so far. I'm really happy with it. All of the staff is very helpful and highly trained. They're not paid minimum wage. Every employee has a designated duty that they perform. They're also accessible and have their cell numbers listed right in their directory. They're always trying to get residents moving in some way and try to tailor activity programs for each patient because some can do more than others. They don't put them together and expect them to be able to do everything at the same level. As an example, my husband is in a lot of pain, so he can't really participate in a lot of their activities. I like that they're tailor-making activities for him. They got him in the pool a couple of times a week for his back and his broken hip. I'm really happy with the care."

"The nurses and their helpers are very caring and hard-working. They did an excellent job of attending to the needs of my 96 year old mother who needs a lot of help. She has very poor balance and she never fell while there. She was there for rehabilitation. The cleaning employees were always working to keep the floors and rooms clean. There were many activities to keep the residents active. A church group visited every Sunday and played a video of their service. I was happy with all of the staff interactions I had while my mother was there. "

"I am extremely pleased with Hallmark Healthcare Center. A friend of mine has been there for several years and I have visited often. I believe they do a wonderful job. I have visited in others and in comparison the rooms are a nice size for two people. The staff is cooperative and many bend over backward to be helpful. We are dealing with the Covid19 virus at this time and they initiated a "guardian angel" program using their support staff to visit residents in an effort to take the place of family visits. I appreciate the fact that staff members are compassionate not only to my friend but to me as a concerned friend. They have lots of activities available for the residents and programs where the family is invited to participate. I actually like the food. My only complaint has been with the laundry so I took her wash out. Since Covid that hasn't been possible but the laundry workers and the Guardian Angels have made sure everything has been done to her satisfaction."

"I visited my mother-in-law and my husband. My mother-in-law just passed away last night. They were very, very cooperative in letting the family in a safe, Covid-free environment with protection following safety guidelines and in PPE just to say our goodbyes. She has been there for several years, and my husband has been there for months now, and they have done a wonderful job for caring for the needs of both my mother-in-law, and my husband."

"This is truly a wonderful facility. My brother is living in Mt. Pleasant Manor in Charleston, SC and I live in Atlanta, GA. However, I have never had to worry about his care. This is a blessing. During the recent evacuation, a result of Hurricane Dorian, Bruce, the director of the facility called me to give me an update on my brother. It does not get any better than this.

"Presbyterian Home's apartments are very nice but very old. It didn't have the roominess that we expected, and the bathrooms were very small. Everybody that I talked to is great. I didn't like the cafeteria-style dinners, but other than that, I really have no complaints about the place. It just didn't fit our needs. They can improve on the price. "

"The Village at Summerville didn't seem as institutional as a lot of nursing homes are and the staff was very friendly and very caring, so we chose this facility for my mother. It's a very clean and nice place. The best thing about it is the care that they give to their residents. "

"I am a resident of The Village at Summerville. I'm very delighted with everything here. The staff is so caring and kind. Everything's just wonderful. The people here are very kind. Some of the residents who have been here for 11 years still say they love it there. So, I think that's a good thing. They changed their chef a few months ago. There have been a few items on their menu. I saw plates go back with the whole meal on it, but for the norm, I see people eating every last thing on their plates. They have different levels of rooms for assisted living. They do have an indoor pool, and my room is about the size of a big hospital room. It's one room with a narrow bathroom and closet, and that's fine. They have bunco. They have a chapel. They had a concert in the chapel the other day. There were selections from classical music to contemporary things, and finally, a Frank Sinatra section where we sang along. They have a very good-sized library with current books and large print and other not as-current books like biographies and non-fiction. The living area has a grand piano in it, and they have people who come and play music once a week or whatever the schedule is. Then several days a week, a woman comes and plays spiritual hymns at 2:00. They list a calendar, and they have so many things on it to do."

"My mother is currently at this facility in the Angel Oak area. This place is dismal at best. No dining room, residents/patients eat in the common area. The food I saw looked terrible, very low quality. There is a menu posted with food choices but did not see any of the servers ask what anyone would like to eat. The servers didn't even wear gloves. It's very noisy, mostly from the nurses aids that I found to be extremely inattantive and spent the majority of their time talking amongst themselves and/or playing music on their phones. One day there were 3 of them at the center desk filling out their LOTTO tickets!!! Most walk around looking at their phones. Saw almost NO intereaction with the residents. The rooms are TINY but easonably clean. The ONLY possitive was the physical therapist, he was great! Really showed a genuine interest in getting my mother more mobile. Check the states review of this facility, there were many issues that were reported in 2018. My opinion, stay away from this place. I am currently working on getting my mother moved to another facility ASAP. "

"I thought the place was smelly and depressing, but the caretakers were friendly and did their best to make my grandmother feel as at home as possible. The facilities were well-kept and there was even a garden courtyard. Magnolia Manor has sinced changed its name and ownership several times "
